ado and the Toronto Blue Jays
turned Atlanta upside down and
moved on top after three games of
the first World Series played in
Canada.
Maldonado singled over the
drawn-in outfield with one out in
the ninth inning, giving the Blue
Jays a 3-2 victory Tuesday night
for a 2-1 lead.
The hit came on an 0-2 pitch
from Jeff Reardon', who served up
pinch-hitter Ed Sprague's winning
two-run homer in the ninth inning
Sunday night in Atlanta.
That game was marked by an
incident in which the Canadian
flag was carried upside-down in
pre-game ceremonies. This time,
thousands of red maple leafs were
sent swirling, all of them right-
side-up by Maldonado's single.
A tight game featuring home
runs by Joe Carter and Kelly Gru
ber, a near triple play and a rare
ejection came down to the bottom
of the ninth inning.
Roberto Alomar began the in
ning with a single off Steve Av
ery, and stole second while reliev

championship season, earning
second-team All-SWC honors in
the process.
After a sophomore season like
that, it's no doubt the other mem
bers of A&M's offensive line were
happy to know Wesley would re
turn.
"Dexter is one of the best, most
steady linemen I've ever seen,"
center Chris Dausin said. "He's a
big help on our offensive line. He
plays great every single game."
Dausin also said that since the
Aggies are trying to move to a
more pass-oriented offensive
scheme, having someone with
Wesley's experience at the tackle
position was a must for pass pro
tection.
"In the passing game, I think
Dexter and (right tackle Jason)
Mathews have the biggest respon
sibility on the entire line," Dausin
said. "In our conference, there are
a lot of linebackers who can get
around the end well, but Dexter is
a big man who can really move
well, and he can catch a lot of
those guys."
Dausin said playing against
linebackers like Buckley and ju
nior Steve Solari in practice was
an advantage for Wesley in
preparing for gamedays.
"You look at Marcus Buckley,
and he's the best outside line
backer in the nation, and Steve So
lari is not far behind," Dausin
said. "There's no one in the con
ference as fast as those two guys
at that position. Going against
those guys, Dexter gets to play the
best so he's prepared every
week."
Wesley echoed Dausin and
Toledo's comments, saying prac
ticing against the "Wrecking
Crew" defense was advantageous
to his preparation every week.
"It's great practicing against
those guys, because Buckley is
definitely the best outside line
backer in the conference, and I fig
ure if I can block him, I can block
anybody," Wesley said. "1 look
forward to going against him in
practice, and we have a couple of
other good linebackers, like Solari,
who are tough to block, too.
"We probably have the quick
est linebackers there are, so I just
get better every time I go against
them."
Sophomore linebacker Larry
Jackson, who attended high
school with Wesley, said when he
first heard of Wesley's accident,
he couldn't keep his thoughts in
order until he knew his friend was
all right.
"I was lifting weights when I
found out, and after that I
couldn't concentrate on anything I
was doing until I saw him," Jack-
son said. "When I came into the
hospital room, 1 saw him smiling,
and I knew he was OK.
"Dexter always gets that big
smile when he's all right."
Jackson also said that not only
did it help Wesley practicing
against A&M's linebackers, but
the way he practiced made him a
better player.
"The way Dexter always goes
full speed covering the blitz in
practice, that helps us, and it defi
nitely helps him get better," Jack-
son said.
Wesley said he and the offen
sive line had improved every
week, but that there was still a lit
tle ways to go.
"We started a little slow
against Stanford, because they
threw a lot of different defense at
us, but I think we have picked it
up a little each game since then,"
Wesley said.
"There is still some work to do,
but it won't be long before we're
right were we want to be."
Lady Aggies
Continued from Page 5
Givens also sounded the trum
pet of execution, but added that
A&M's three-game sweep of Bay
lor in Waco a week ago did a lot to
bring back the Lady Aggies' once-
solid execution.
"Baylor's got a much-improved
ball team, probably the best
they've had (since I've been
here)," Givens said about the
Lady Bears, who fell to A&M 15-7,
15-12, 15-8. "It was not so much
what they didn't do, but what we
did to them.
"I though that our execution
was better (than it has been). We
know that if we execute well, we
can compete with anyone."
In their last match with Tech,
the Lady Aggies proved they
could compete. But with the Lady
Red Raiders entering the matcn
ranked 17th in the nation, the
competition will be escalated.
"They force you to play the
game," Givens said. "They dig so
well as a team that they throw you
off.
"It (volleyball) is a crazy
It's a game of momentunu^
and flow. And the teamtlaii
get momentum usually wins.'
The Lady Aggies know

in the third game.
But fellow middle blocbl
Mitchell, who suffered ads
bruise in the same game,is
as questionable againsli
tonight.
"I was hitting the ball,and,
1 hit it, I lost my balance aid
the (net) standard andba
my leg," Mitchell said,
now, it's just bruised. Th
that just kind of happen.”
Givens said that his mainti)
live for Mitchell is to have
healthy for A&M's
Satu rday.
"We're hoping that war
have her back by thetimewep
Rice," Givens said. "That's
100 percent sure. Itjustdepa

"Our concern is that it do®
get worse."

because they beat Missouri, Tul
sa and Louisiana State, and our
conference opponents are
abyssmal.
I realize the Aggies beat Stan
ford, and the Cardinal or pine
tree or whatever they are called
is a good team, but they were a
recent addition to the schedule,
and we won't be seeing them
again soon.
A&M is playing well after
physically dominating Rice last
Saturday, but it was Rice for
Pete's sake. That's not a big step
above the Sisters of the Poor.
The rest of the Aggies' sched
ule looks no more difficult, with
the possible exception of the
Longhorns on Thanksgiving
Day.
Baylor comes strutting into
College Station this weekend
with their overweight, rabid-
looking, mouth-foaming, soft
drink-swilling mascot in tow.
The only Aggie that should
be in any danger is Reveille if
the bear gets loose and decides
it's hungry. 7-0.
The Aggies will then face
Southern Methodist University
at the Cotton Bowl on Hal
loween, which seems fitting be
cause nothing is uglier or scarier
than SMU's football team. 8-0.
